Q.

Let y = y(x) be the solution of the differential equation sec2xdx+(e2ytan2x+tan x)dy=0, 0<x<π2, y(π4)=0. If y(π6)=α, then e8α is equal to __________.          [2024]


Ans.

We have, sec2xdx+(e2ytan2x+tan x)dy=0

Put tanx=t

⇒ sec2xdxdy=dtdy

Now, sec2xdxdy+(e2ytan2x+tan x)=0

⇒ dtdy+e2yt2+t=0 ⇒ dtdy+t=–t2e2y

1t2dtdy+1t=–e2y

Again put 1t=u ⇒ –1t2dtdy=dudy

∴ –dudy+u=–e2y ⇒ dudy–u=e2y

∴ I.F.=e–∫dy=e–y

∴ ue–y=∫e–ye2ydy

⇒ ue–y=∫eydy ⇒ 1te–y=ey+c

⇒ 1tan xe–y=ey+c          ... (i)

When, x=π4, y = 0

∴ 1tan(π4)e–0=e0+c ⇒ 1=1+c ⇒ c=0 

Also, when x=π6, y=α

∴  From (i), we have

1tanπ6e–α=eα+0 ⇒ 3=e2α ⇒ (e2α)4=(3)4

⇒ e8α=9.
